If Fontenot doesn't turn it around soon we'll probably be wanting a second baseman. Also Bradley will still be hurt a lot and DeRosa can fill in there instead of Hoffpauir.... who has been pretty crappy this season
Street hasn't been that effective this year, whether that's because of a new team, new league, and/or Coors is up for debate. Neither him nor Jenks have been very productive this year, same for Rivera. Huh? All 3 of those guys have good numbers.
I think it has a good chance to be above average now. If Marmol can get his control back, the he, Gregg, Ascanio and Guzman are pretty good - especially considering the low cost across the board. Would we have the prospects - and would the upgrade be worth the cost - to acquire a young, cheap pitcher like Soriano or Bell? They aren't young. Soriano is 29 and Bell is 31. Plus I don't see why the Braves would trade Soriano. They're only 4 games back in the division and even closer in the WC race. Their pitching looks really good. If they trade for a big bat they might be the best team in that division.
I think 'most' is pushing it. I don't see how he's been better than Cueto, Haren, Lincecum, and Johnson. I guess you could make a case for the other three though. He's still been great. I think he's been better than Cueto. ERA is pretty much the only stat where he's better than Lilly. Fewer baserunners, missing more bats, etc..
Damn, thats like us losing Aramis, Soriano, Lee, Harden, Dempster, and Marmol all at once, and of course, its all just in time to face the Cardinals. not really . maine, perez, and putz have all been crappy this season.
unbelievable lou. wtf. and now after back to back smoked balls he leaves dempster in with 118 itches to face chipper. oh and now the second run scores. good thing we gave up one of out last 9 outs in a one run game so we could get dempster back out there inexcusable
